Asuga XC-ESC E6 (AKA Mad MAX7 AKA Integy E6)

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate

XC-ESC now has an Amazon store with free shipping, about 2~3 days with Prime or about 5 days without.
 
The BEC in the XC E6 is stronger than the one in the Mamba Monster X 8S, I can hear the voltage sag a little when the fans slow down if I hold the wheels and force the servo to overcome the servo saver with the Castle ESC but that doesn't happen with the E6.
 
XC ESC E6 with a Surpass hobby Taurus V2 1900KV sensored motor and 16T pinion has been great in my Shiroi so far.
 
Watched this yesterday, as much as I mostly deplore this channel he actually did a good job of making a very useable improved RC

Yeah he has a bit of a victor meldrew personality 😂. The xc esc definitely becoming more popular seeing a lot more people running them now & not heard any complaints yet. I finally got the Asuga out for a run so now I’ve done that I can start to pull it apart & start modifying it had to send it & break something before pulling it apart lol. But I’ll soon tear it apart & drop the xc e5 pro into it see what it can do myself. Few pics Asuga 1st sends ( I never get any good pics I’m the worst camera man ever 😂)

Yes, XC is quickly taking market share from HW and Castle.
This morning I’ve received my first XC esc; the C8 (160A), everything else I run is HW.
With current Black Friday deals lately on Aliexpress the XC esc’s are a real good deal.
 
Got a XC C8 from aliexpress yesterday going stick it in a Mojave 4s after the stock electronics shat themselves 😬. If anyone is struggling with the Bluetooth on the XC app try and search for one named RTR-LINK.
 
Why are people still buying from Aliexpress when XC has an Amazon store with free prime shipping now?

Got an E5 Pro for 20% off for my 12S Baja 5B project:

Also the 200A E5 standard is now $159 on sale:

I wish they had a proper 1/5 scale C series ESC what with 1/5 scale sensored motors being so rare you're paying for a feature you likely won't use. They do have an 8S "200A" C6 but it states it's for 1/7 and the size of the heatsink reflects that it's basically the same size as the E6 160A.

I would have got the XC 5690 sensored motor but 1250kv is beyond the capacity of a 5B to gear down to somthing reasonable on 12S.

XC has basically tossed a hand grenade into the market, they're disrupting everything with cheap ESCs that are actually good. Hopefully they don't get greedy and start cutting corners once they've gained a good reputation as so often happens.

Because, at least in the Netherlands, Aliexpress is a lot cheaper. They all come from the same factory anyway, so when Ali is 25% cheaper than Amazon (Jeff Bezos wants to eat too 😄) it’s an easy choice😉.

Could have gotten the slightly longer 56118 in a lower kv option. Nothing wrong with shopping on AliExpress , shipping free & with constant sales & discounts vouchers I got my e5 pro for about £130. Spend your dime wherever you want whatever works best for you.
 
I'm loving the 30DN - essentially to Losi T what Rovan is to Baja 5B. I would love to do a similar conversion, but again - no need for such wonky centre drive angles on the e version. That in my opinion needs work, especially for 12s. However - the 8s roller electric version already seems to have addressed this - driveline is straight.

As for these XC esc's - they look awesome! I love the Bluetooth connectivity built in - I have to use an OSB thing with my HW for racing. Nice to have the functionality included with the ESC out of the box. Nice!!

Yep - if Aliexpress are able to deliver to Blighty, I'm all in for making the roller 12s. with the XC5 pro :D Shame the roller body is a bit....monochrome. Either paint it nice, or supply it clear.

Rovan has an electric roller version of the LT for $797usd minus whatever sales Aliexpress has going at the time.

Free shipping but it's the literal slow boat from china.

EDIT: Also $804 for the 36cc RTR gas version https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807291683034.html and $1121 for the 45cc https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807563025201.html

The temp sensor in Hobbywing sensored motors is non standard and only works with Hobbywing ESCs and that's the main reason I'd want a sensored motor in something like a Baja 5B, temperature logging and thermal cutoff. The very low RPM performance is only useful in something like a crawler. The other alternative is a low KV Castle 2020 but that's stupid expensive.
 
You could always buy the driveline & parts required & make your own rig. I love this guys channel makes all his own rigs & goes hard in his back yard. Chassis, motor mounts, spur gears, arms doesn't seem like there’s anything he won’t try making himself , nothing flash or fancy all just built for purpose.
